How do humans perceive colour and taste?
Throughout this experiment we are going to explain the colour perception throughout biologic terms. Firstly on how the eye perceives colour through the cone cells which are located at the back of the eye on the retina near the optic nerve. The tongue, how it perceives sweetness through the taste buds, and how do both interact in the brain, by forming the sense of taste. Finally through the brain, which is in charge of making the decisions, which in this case is deciding the level of sweetness in the solution. Taste is a sensory function in the Central Nervous System. We taste through taste buds located on the surface of the tongue, along the soft palate, and in the epithelium of the pharynx and epiglottis. A single taste bud contains 50–100 taste cells representing all 5 taste sensations. The taste buds contain a variety of G protein Coupled receptors, which detect specifically the sweet flavour in this experiment. In other words, the G Protein is a type of an integral protein which al
